Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: 420 has good news

Chapter 421: 420 has good news

Xiao Wenqing was somewhat moved. If anything concerned her, it was Mo Zixuan. Just as she was about to answer, Wu Tianyi suddenly looked over at her from beside her.

She had put it on speaker, and Wu Tianyi had heard everything Mo Zixuan had said.

Seeing his expression, a wave of disappointment washed over Xiao Wenqing. She gently pursed her lips and said soothingly, “Zixuan, if you miss your mom, you can just call me more often. After this period, I’ll come back to see you.”

“In the end, you still don’t want to see me. You and the old man are the same; you don’t care about me at all.”

Mo Zixuan’s voice grew cold, heavy with displeasure.

“Zixuan, it’s not like that. The main thing is that the police have been investigating your Uncle Wu and me recently. I don’t want to get you involved,” Xiao Wenqing hurriedly explained. After a pause, she asked again, “Zixuan, haven’t you figured out Wen Ran’s background after such a long time?”

“I’ve looked into it. She isn’t Gu Yan’s daughter. She is close to the Gu family only because of Mo Xiuchen’s good relations with Gu Kai. Wen Jin has been in Kangning Hospital for so long and could recover so quickly, all thanks to Gu Kai’s help.”

A trace of a cold smile formed on Mo Zixuan’s face as he crossed one leg over the low table and lazily leaned back into the couch.

“Really? Then why did she celebrate her birthday at the Gu’s? If Wen Ran was the daughter of Gu Yan, they would definitely keep it a secret. They wouldn’t tell anyone. Are you sure your investigation was thorough?”

There was a strong sense of disappointment in Xiao Wenqing’s voice.

She had always hoped that Wen Ran was Gu Yan’s daughter. Before, she felt that, if Wen Ran was Gu Yan’s daughter, it would devastate Mo Xiuchen.

That day, Fu Jingyi specifically mentioned that if Wen Ran was Gu Yan’s daughter, he would capture her and use her as his test subject. Over the years, Wen Ran proved to be one of his best test subjects.

That made her hope even more fervently that Wen Ran was Gu Yan’s daughter.

“If you don’t believe in my investigation, you can come back to G City and look into it yourself. Mo Xiuchen only has a few friends. The families of Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu are not in G City. Besides the Gu family, Wen Ran is also close to the Bai family. That’s all there is,” Mo Zixuan’s voice deepened, then he asked, “Are you still in City B now?”

“No, I’m in… we already left City B. We’re in a very safe place.” Xiao Wenqing’s guard was down and she nearly revealed her address.

As soon as Xiao Wenqing got off the phone with Mo Zixuan, Wu Tianyi’s phone rang.

It was a call from Tong Shishi.

“Boss Wu, on New Year’s Eve night, Mo Zixuan and Mo Jingteng were having dinner at Mo Xiuchen’s house. Gu Yan and his son, along with Wen Jin and Luo Haofeng were also there,” Tong Shishi reported the information she had gathered to Wu Tianyi.

“Are you sure about your information? Mo Zixuan and Mo Xiuchen are sworn enemies. Are you trying to tell me they had dinner at his house?”

Wu Tianyi squinted; a sharp look crossed his eyes, and his expression grew a little dark.

“I am absolutely sure. I think Mo Zixuan and Mo Xiuchen might have made amends. Even if it’s not genuine, it could be a temporary truce. In fact, Mo Zixuan sought out Mo Xiuchen a few days ago,” Tong Shishi recounted the event.

Wu Tianyi paused for a moment before saying, “I’ll wire you part of the money first. When you find out about Wen Ran’s background, I’ll transfer the rest to your account. Try to find out what’s on Mo Zixuan’s mind.”

“Understood, Boss Wu.”

There was a hint of joy in Tong Shishi’s voice. Hearing about money made her forget all about her miscarriage.

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran went to the Gu’s for dinner and didn’t return until the evening on the second day of the lunar year.

On the third day of the lunar year, Li Qian and her husband brought gifts to pay New Year’s visit. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao, Luo Haofeng, and Wen Jin came over to join the fun. Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen did not go out the entire day.

Even though she was the host, Nanny Zhang, and Housekeeper Uncle Liu had gone back to the countryside for the holiday. Li Qian’s husband was a professional chef, and although Wen Jin and Luo Haofeng weren’t as skilled, they were not completely clueless when it came to cooking.

In the end, the four men decided to play a game of cards. The loser would have to cook.

Li Qian, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Wen Ran, the three women, left the first floor to the men and chatted casually on the second floor.

Midway through the conversation, Li Qian suddenly started retching and ran to the bathroom. Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao exchanged puzzled glances.

As soon as Li Qian came back, Bai Xiaoxiao asked, “Sister Li, are you pregnant?”

“Yes.”

Li Qian instinctively touched her flat belly. A bit of tenderness filled her eyes. Wen Ran exclaimed excitedly when she heard the news, “Sister Li, you’re really pregnant. Congratulations!”

“How long have you been pregnant? You weren’t planning to tell us unless we asked, were you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, eyeing Li Qian’s stomach. Wen Ran also stared intently at Li Qian, although she was not the one pregnant, she was still happy and looking forward to it.

Li Qian sat back down and said softly, “I found out after the holidays.”

“No wonder Big Brother Cheng had you come upstairs earlier and not stay in the living room. So, he was afraid his son would pick up some bad habits.”

Wen Ran teased with a smile. Li Qian shot her a look and defended Chen Bin, “It’s not because he’s afraid the baby would pick up bad habits. He was worried that they might start smoking.”

Chen Bin used to smoke, but he quit once they decided to have a child. And he was always attentive to the surroundings, he would leave immediately with Li Qian if someone was smoking.

Earlier in the living room, he didn’t want to be explicit because he knew about Mo Xiuchen’s situation from Li Qian, and he didn’t want to sadden them.

“Sister Li, does that mean you can’t go back to work after the holidays? You have to stay at home and rest properly.”

Wen Ran looked enviously at Li Qian’s unnoticeable belly, silently praying for Mo Xiuchen’s speedy recovery so that they could have two cute babies of their own.

Seeing her gaze land on her stomach, Li Qian smiled gently and said, “Ranran, you and Xiuchen are still young. Don’t rush it. Chen Bin and I are already in our thirties. You’ll have your own kids.”

“Yes, Ranran, don’t worry. The next good news will surely be yours.”

“Of course, unless you’re pregnant before marriage,” Bai Xiaoxiao joked.

Laughter from Li Qian eased the tension in Wen Ran’s heart. A warm smile spread across her beautiful face. She playfully said, “I believe Xiuchen and I will definitely have a baby. Xiaoxiao, although there is no possibility of surpassing Sister Li, you can still surpass me. Go find a man and roll in the sheets.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned slightly red. Pretending to be angry, she lunged at Wen Ran and started tickling her, “You naughty girl, do you think I, Bai Xiaoxiao, am that kind of person?”

“Ah! No, no, Xiaoxiao, I was wrong!” Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao were sitting too close together. As Wen Ran had difficulty moving, she didn’t dare to dodge and could only beg for mercy with a smile.
